Cajsa LilliehookLeave a comment

The Missouri Republican Party deserves special condemnation for continuing to support the re-election of Rick Roeber despite his children coming forward and revealing how he abused and molested them through their childhood, allegations they made twenty years earlier as well. The party decided to support Roeber, this incestuous child rapist, rather than risk electing a Democrat. They pledged to investigate him if he was elected rather than asking people to vote for someone else.

Scott Miller was the chair of the Salt Lake County Republicans. When several women reported harassment and abuse by Dave Robinson, he ignored them. When the story became public, he sent an official email calling out the women for their “salacious accusations.” In the email, he wrote, “Are these persons and possibly their special interest backers attempting to embarrass and cancel me and our volunteers?” Miller wrote. “Are most of the accusers sore losers who failed to win their respective races? Is this an attempt to disrupt my efforts to become the Utah GOP Chairman?”
